SECRETARY Whltnev ; Wealth.


Washington Correspondent New York Herald
A group of New York politicians we're
discussing Secretary Whitneys good for
tune in having married rich wife. Il
suppose you mean to say said one of
the party, that the money Secretary
Whitney spends is given to him by his
wife. There was never a greater mistake.
Secretary Whitney's income is, or was
before he entered the cabinet, nearly
100000 annually. / don't pretend
this income represented any fixed sum,
but / do say that he has been very
successful business man, and almost
everything he touches turns to gold, and
has done so for years past. He has an
extraordinary fondness for keeping
large sums of money about him. was
sitting in his Office the day he concluded
the purchase of country seat, on the
Tennallytown road When the necessary
papers were signed the agent began say
ing that the secretary might make his
payments in any way he desired, when
the latter coolly turned about IN his chair,
and, opening a drawer, drew out $4,000
in greenbacks. he counted out $3l 900
in an exasperating ly Indifferent fashion,
and then tossing tive rest into the drawer
again resumed tho conversation as if
nothing unusual had happened"

The Training of Children
Culver for January.

The loving instruction of mother
may seem to have been thrown away, but
il will appear after many days. With
children you must mix gentleness with
firmness. "a man who is learning 20
play on a trumpet and child are two
very disagreeabio companions IL a
mother never has headaches through re-
bulSing her little children, she shall have
pleazty of heartaches when they grow
up.
At the same time mother should not
hamper her children with unnecessary,
foolish restrictions. II is a great mistake
to fancy that your boy is made of glass,
and to be always telling him not TO do
this, and not TO do that, for fear of his
breaking himself On the principle
never give pain unless it is TO prevent a
greater pain, you should grant every re-
quest which is at all reasonable, and let
him see that your denial of a thing is for
his own good, and not simply to save
trouble; but once having duly settled n
thing hold TO it. Unless child learns
from the first that his mothers yea is yea,
and her nay nay, il will get into the habit
of whining ana endeavoring TO coax her
out OF her refusal, and her authority will
soon be gone.
Happinesr is the natural condition of
every normal child, and if the small hey
or girl has peculiar facility for any one
thing it is for Entertainment; with
certain granted conditions, of course,
One of these is physical freedom, and a
few rude and simple playthings. Agree
able occupation is as great a necessity for
children as for adults, and beyond this al
most nothing can be contributed TO the
real happiness of child.
II try so hard to make my children
happy" said mother with a sigh one
day, in despair of her efforts. stop try
ing" exclaimed a practical friend at her
elbow" and do as a neighber of mine
does" And how is that?' she asked,
dolefully." "Why, she simply lets her
children grow and develop naturally, on
ly directing their growth properly. She
has always thrown them, as far as practi-
cal upon their own resources, Taught them
to weight upon themselves no matter
how many servants she had to con
struct their own playthings. When she
returns home from an absence they await
but one thing-their mothers kiss.
Whatever has been baught for them is be-
slowed when the needed time comes.
Nothing exciting is allowed to them ~
night, and they go to bed and to sleep in
a wholesome mental state that insures
rostful slumber. They are taught to love
nature, aud TO feel that there is nothing
arrayed so finely rs the lily of the field,
the bees and the butterflies, that there is
nothing so mean as to lie, nor anything
SO miserable as disobediance, that it is d
disgrace to be sick, and that good health,
good teeth and good temper come from
plain food, plenty Of sleep and being
good" In order to thrive children re-
duire a certain amount of letting alone"
Supreme faith in the mother, few toys,
no fiuery, pain food, no drugs and early
bed are the best things for making
them happy

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

New cloth bonnets in black and colors
are shown by the milliners. They are In
close. narrow shapes, decorated with jet
or silk balls around the rims and crowns,
and are sufficiently trimmed with upright
ribbon bows
With the cold weather the demand for
wooden hosiery increases. Rich, dark
colors will be preferred. Among new
styles are heecy stockings. They have
the nape on tae outside, which gives soft
ness and color, and wo0lly surface,
though they are of cotton, and their con-
seauent low price is in their favor.
Hats are less loaded with trimming than
last season. Felt hats are much worn,
and one TO match the color of each cos
tune must be had. Feathers, great tufts
of them, dropping toward the left side,
long one trailing toward the back-are
the favorite trimming. The birds most
fashionable upon these hats are sea swal
lows.
Fedora, Mechlin, and Oriental laces are
the most popular laces used. French
thread and Chantilly lace viii supersede
Spgnish for trimming and general use.

Even silk wraps are now made imper-
vious to rain; so are woolens of various
grades used for cloaking. The long, loose
cloak of this style is very fashionable,
and the same shape may be made OF

many line with canton flannel, with silk
over this of some bright tint, giving a
much neater effect. The curved upper
edge is gathered the size of the neck aud

Jurors.
in a year.

The Portsmouth Enterprise says
that the Dispatch did not exactly catch
on to its meaning in its article day
or two ago upon the question OF the eli
gibility of certain persons as jurors. 1t
adds:
"Wc bold that the act Of the Legis-
lature makes il optional with n miller
whether or not he will serve on a jury
sfter lie is summoned and not whether
be is eligible or not. ,"
The Constitution provides that JONI
Smith shall be eligible as Juror. He
is summoned as juror to Judge Ar
K1Ys's court. He decides that he wont
scrvel Put might serve il he would !!
II is not for the Constitution, nor for
Judge ATKINs, to say, but JOIN Smith
will decide for himself whether he will
serve or not And yet the COnstitu-
ton tells Judge ATKINS that JONI is a
choosable man. Suppose the Judge
fine JOIN and tell him that he shall
serve, the Legislature having no power
to repeal constitutional provision ::
what then ?
Referring TO the case of the man in
Petersburg who was decided to be dis
qualified to serve as grand juror be-
cause he was owner of grist.mill, and
owners of grist-mills are exempt from
jury duty by law, the Enterprise says:
eve think the Dispntch is in error
as to the construction placed on the
exemption law III Virginia, and, II the
Peter burg court made the ruling Gre
dited TO it in the above, it evidently
made a mistake. If the man was un-
willing to serve the Court had no right
to require him to do so, but if he was
willing to waive his legal right OF cx-
emption he was a qualified juror.
No. The man had served as a grand
Juror and had concurred in finding an
Indictment in the LAyGsToS case, which
Indictment vas qusshed because the
Legislature had repealed provision OF
tho Constitution.
The Enterprise says further:
"In this city, by our charter, mem
bcrs of the fire department are exempt
from jury duty, but we frequently find
them sitting on iuries when they do
not choose to avail themselves OF their
exemption"
Well, that is free and easy court OF
yours. When 3 man chooses to serve
on a jury, he serves but if he refuses
to serve, the Judge says, "All right,
Mr.. JONES. you are the sole Judge"
How would that sort of "justice .
answer in such a case as that of Gnu
VIRUS?
